A convenient and simple method for the preparation of diphenylpropane-1,2-diones is described. The process involves rearrangement of α-epoxyketones on silica gel; an unusual migration of a proton instead of the more common benzoyl migration.
REACTION OF 3-ARYL-2-BENZOYLOXIRANES WITH ALKYL THIOCYANATES

3-Aryl-2-benzoyloxiranes and alkyl thiocyanates in the presence of an equivalent amount of anhydrous AlCl3 form erythro-N-(2-benzoyl-1-aryl-2-chloroethyl)-S-alkyl thiocarbamates and α-diketones. p-Tolyl and p-anisyl-2-benzoyl-oxiranes do not react with alkyl thiocyanates, but isomerize to the respective α-diketones, and form the threo-chlorohydrins in low yield.
